Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your
NS-IR10BL7 or NS-IR10PK7 represents the state of the art in steam iron
design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1Only use an iron for its intended use.
2To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
3Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging it from the
electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the
electrical outlet. Instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to
disconnect the iron.

4Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely
before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron
when storing.
5Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the
iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron
is not in use.
6Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been
dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination
and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used after reassembly.
7Close supervision is required if the iron is used by or near children.
8Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.
Use caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down – there might
be hot water in the reservoir.
9To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit
with another high wattage appliance.
10 The iron must not be left unattended while it is plugged in.
11 The water inlet cover must not be opened during use.
12 The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
13 The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible
signs of damage, or if it is leaking.
14 Never use an extension cord that is not approved by a competent
authority. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an
ampere rating equal to or greater than 15A shall be used. A cord rated
for less amperage may overheat. Care shall be taken to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or the iron tripped over.
15 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
16 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
17 The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water
reservoir is filled with water.
18 When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which
the stand is placed is stable.

Using your iron
Using your iron for the first time
Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and, as a result, the iron
may smoke slightly when turned on for the first time. This stops after a few
uses.
1Remove any protective films or stickers from the sole plate and the
body of the iron. Clean the sole plate with a soft cloth.
2Test the iron on an old piece of fabric to make sure that the sole plate
and water reservoir are completely clean.
Setting the temperature control
• Always check the garment label for ironing instructions before ironing
the garment.
• If the ironing instructions are missing, use the table below to set the
temperature.
• Sort your laundry into fabric types (wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, and so on), then iron the fabrics requiring the lowest
temperature setting first, then progress to fabrics that require higher
temperatures (the iron heats up quicker than it cools down).
• If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers (such as cotton with
polyester), always select the ironing temperature for the material with
the lowest advised temperature.
Fabric Label Fabric Temperature

Acrylic or
Nylon No No Yes

If you see this label on your garment, it means that it cannot be
ironed. DO NOT IRON.

Using the self-clean function
You can use the self-clean function to remove scale and impurities from
your iron. The self-clean function should be used approximately once
every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self-clean
function should be used more frequently.

2Set the steam control knob to the “0” position.
3Open the water inlet cover and fill the iron with water.
4Select the maximum ironing temperature.
5Plug in the iron.
6When the temperature indicator turns off, unplug the iron.

and gently shake the iron. Steam and boiling water come out of the
sole plate and any impurities and flakes are flushed out.
8Release the self-clean button as soon as all water in the reservoir has
been drained.

9Repeat the self-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
Cleaning the exterior of your iron
Turn the temperature control dial to OFF, then unplug the iron and let it

knob to 0 (no steam).
2Unplug the iron.
3Pour any remaining water out of the water reservoir.
4Stand the iron upright and let it cool down completely.
5Wind the power cord around the iron.
6Always store the iron in an upright position.
Auto shut-off
In the unlikely event that the thermostat fails, the protective cut-out turns
of the iron off after 30 seconds (horizontal position) or eight minutes
(vertical position) to protect it from overheating. If that occurs, the iron
should be taken to the nearest authorized service facility.
Secure cord retraction
Lets you safety retract you power cord without a whipping effect.
1Pull out the length of cord you want before plugging your iron into an
electrical outlet. Do not pull cord past the red indicator.
2To retract the cord, hold the iron with one hand and grab the end of
the cord with the other hand. Use the cord prongs to press the Retract
button. Failure to hold the end of the cord may cause it to whip
around.
3If the cord does not fully rewind, pull it out and guide it evenly onto
the reel.
Note
In addition to a self-clean function, your iron features an
anti-scale cartridge, which reduces scale deposits in the iron and
prolongs its operational life. The anti-scale system is an integral
part of your iron and does not require any maintenance.

Troubleshooting
Caution

warranty.
Problem Possible cause Possible solution
The iron won’t heat The iron may not be plugged in or
the temperature control dial is not
set correctly.
Plug in the iron and turn up the temperature control dial. If
the temperature indicator does not come on, does a lamp
plugged into the same outlet turn on? If it does, there is a
problem with the iron. Contact customer service.
Water drips from the
holes in the sole plate
The chosen temperature is too low
and does not allow the formation of
steam.
Increase the temperature setting.
You are using steam while the iron is
not hot enough.
Wait until the temperature indicator turns off.
You are using the Burst of Steam
button too often.
Wait a few seconds between each use of the button.

damp sponge. Vacuum the holes of the sole plate from time
to time.
Your fabric has not been rinsed
sufficiently or you have ironed a new
garment before washing it.
Make sure that your laundry is rinsed sufficiently so as to
remove any deposits of soap or chemical products on new
clothes.
